Former IT director and network consultant with a strong work ethic is seeking a supporting crew member position. I have a keen interest in ground instruction, avionics, and airplane systems, and the aviation business as a whole. As a team player, I excel in high-stress situations and am adept at dealing with difficult people. I am highly motivated and would love to utilize my pilot skills for humanitarian efforts. I am always looking to improve and learn new things and am highly trainable.
